Polyimide (PI) Plastic & PEEK Products
Polyimide and PEEK are high-performance plastics known for their exceptional chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. Polyimide excels in electrical insulation and high-temperature endurance, while PEEK provides superior strength and toughness for structural applications across industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical. Valley Design Corporation leverages extensive expertise and advanced tools to deliver customized manufacturing solutions using these materials.
Polyimide plastic is a polymer (a large molecule made of smaller molecules that can chemically bond with each other) with valuable qualities such as chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. It is a type of plastic commonly used in critical applications where other plastics may fail.
Polyimide maintains its properties even at temperatures above 600°F (315°C). It resists radiation, chemicals, many solvents, and oils, making it suitable for tough environments. It is also flame-retardant. Polyimide is an electrical insulator, making it ideal for various electrical and electronic applications. Its ability to withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures without significant degradation makes it suitable for electronics, automotive, and aerospace uses where thermal stability under heavy loads is crucial. Polyimide requires specialized techniques and the right tools for effective processing due to its brittleness and rigidity.
Typical applications of Polyimides include:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Electronics
- Industrial
- Semiconductor manufacturing
Peek (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic valued for its mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and high-temperature stability. While both plastics share similar qualities, PEEK’s strength, stiffness, and toughness make it the preferred choice in structural applications where mechanical integrity is essential. Peek, because of its strength and hardness, requires specialized cutting tools for machining, drilling, and grinding.
Typical applications of Peek include:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Electronics
- Food processing
- Industrial
- Medical
